HUDSON ó The Hillsdale Conservation District (HCD) has received a grant through the Great Lakes Commission to reduce erosion and sediment along the Tiffin River. This grant involves a partnership between Hillsdale and Lenawee Conservation District in Michigan and Fulton and Williams Soil and Water Conservation District in Ohio.

The grant will provide cost share to landowners and producers for the implementation of conservation cover crops, redlined grass water ways, water and sediment control basins (WASCOB), and grassed riparian buffers for land in the Covell Drain-Bean Creek, Lime Creek, and Mill Creek watersheds in Hillsdale, Lenawee, Williams and Fulton counties.

In Hillsdale County, the three eligible watersheds encompass part of Pittsford and Wright townships.

For more information join the Hillsdale Conservation District, along with other partner agencies that are involved in this project, on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. at Raybaís Tennis Retreat, 8301 Coman Rd., Hudson. Complementary pie and ice cream will be served.

Those interested in attending should RSVP by today, Dec. 4 in order to ensure there will be enough refreshments.
